First thing to do is explore, obviously -- to find out exactly what this place has in the way of room and resources.

>>28086999
Where's their boat?

They need to have got there somehow. Also, they need somewhere to grow veggies. Kemomis cannot live on fish alone!

>>28086999

What's our inventory like? What did we bring here?

I think a first priority should be to set up a little garden on the rooftop and grow a bit of veg. Cleaning out the lower stories should free up some living space too.

There's also fishing to do.

Genetic engineering, and a big comet, respectively. Please direct all questions over the setting to the CATastrophe general thread, and unfrizz your tails.

>>28087238
Don't kinkshame you prude.

>>28087267
My character continues to ponder on why we weren't genetically engineered to be half fish instead, and why a comet massive enough to add that much water to the planet hasn't wiped out all life on the planet.

>>28087208

Could have been a shipwreck I guess. If they're stranded, it introduces the problem of self-sufficiency which would be a fun challenge.

>>28086999
Need to scavenger inside for materials. Think we need to build a garden of sorts and some fishing implements.

They paid shinies to a foxboy friend to bring them here on his boat but he had to go and do other shipping and left he will be back later with some lunch he will trade from the next client.

They climb up to explore the building and find a dark hole that leads to the lower floor there is darkness in there nothing to see. There is no way proper way to reach to the top floor at this moment.

They brought sleeping bags, some tools to hammer and nail things to place and stick-tape. A large roll of strong sticky tape. Yes-yes sticky tape costs many shinies but very useful. Also got a standard fishing rod and some eating equipment for lunch.

>>28087353

Let's see what's inside the lower floor. Should be accessible from that room in the back.

With a few boards and planks, let's fashion a ladder so we can reach the top floor as well.

>>28087353
I say put one of the catfolks to dive and search for materials that might be acessible below the water. We can try to fashion a torch meanwhile to explore the dark room. We also need to worry about food.

Tom explores the lower floor but cannot make out much he finds a table which he pulls to the hole to make entering and exiting easier. He could make out many junkies he could not identify in the dark.

The usamimi unpacks things and gathers tools.

>>28087567
We have a fishing rod. Let's get one of our guys to fish and try to bring the table and chairs outside. We can break the chair to make a torch and use the table as a crafting bench.

>>28087611
Speaking of craft, what skills our guys have?

>>28087567
If Tom can find the window and unblock it that should let in the light...

>>28087648

Yeah, good point. Also, we could look for rope to make a rope ladder.

They unpack 3 light chairs, unfortunately these are plastic and metal chairs and cannot be used for making a torch.

Tom tries to find the window he slips and falls but his fall is cushioned by a large pile of dusty plastic bags. Following the Usa's voice he thinks he finally finds the window but it is barricaded by a large object a locker or cupboard or something. he needs all his strength if he wants to move it. It might be blockaded

Should we start fishing or diving?

>>28087795
Diving. We have a lunch on the way, so lets try to find materials first and then we will see about food. And hmm... Deploy the chairs on the lower deck, will make a nice lounging space.

>>28087795
Try it with all you strenght! God damn it Tom, we counting on you!

>>28087795

Have one of the others help Tom investigate and move the barricade. Do we have a fire axe or a saw or anything like that?

>>28087795
Fishing first. Gotta get lunch before diving for anything shiny.
Just don't eat before diving.

>>28087680
Seems to be stringy stuff holding the dangling bits on the side, maybe pull them off?

The blue haired one collected stringy bits these could be used for rope but need more.

Usa hands Tom the hammer and Tom manges to unblock the window.

>>28087826

I would keep them on the top deck, more sun up there and the lower deck has more space for cargo loading/unloading.

>>28088011
Usa should go fishing while tom keeps scavanging whatever can be useful. Blue can go ahead and dive.

>>28088036
But...Usa could sit on the chairs while fishing!

Is that...
Is that..mr.krabs fishing?

>>28088409

Alright! Time to make some firewood and torches out of the barricade and broken furniture. Let's get the table out into the light, it could be used for crafting. Also, clear out the lower floor and open the second window. Should look for ways to go into the sunken parts of the building.

>>28088036
They're light chairs, they can be moved around ad-hoc.

>>28088439
>and torches out of the barricade and broken furniture. Let's get the table out into the light, it could be used for crafting. Also, clear out the lower floor and open the second window. Should look for ways to go into the sunken parts of the building.

This. Let's get firewood fro demolishing wooden furniture and see even if we can get wooden planks we can use for building. Blue should seek scrap metal and tools, but anything useful or interesting will be good.

We should set up a storm watch at some point and be prepared to bring our valuable inside in case of waves and such.

Also that axe should probably be given to fishers, no telling what they'll pull up.

Tom uses the hammer and the axe to disassemble furniture into building materials and wood to burn.

Blue dives down to see how the building is underwater.
Usa is fishing.

Our fourth member who drives the ship has returned with lunch and more supplies.

You now have enough materials to build a hut and a ladder.

Can we build trade goods with the wood?

Like carvings of animals and such?

>>28088716

Get a ladder going to the third floor!

And maybe build some shutters to cover the broken window in case of weather?

Awesome, let's get that ladder up, hut can wait as we can just shelter inside.
Dock for that boat, needed asap.

>>28088738

This requires a steady supply of wood. We need some numbers to see how much resources we have and plan accordingly.

Let's get that ladder up, and continue exploring the lower floor. Open the other window, and check for passages to the flooded lower floors.

Also, should we roll for skill challenges? Like, to see what we get out of the dive?

I think we need less generic names for some of the characters; we've already established the male Nekomi as Tom.

I suggest the following:
Usa = Maxine or Max
Female Nekomi = Nora
Male Kitsumi driving the boat = Alec

>>28088859
Maxine, let's keep a 1:1 gender ratio.

>>28088738
The caravan isn't until autumn, so we should have plenty of time. Plus, bone crafts > wood crafts.

>>28088716
Erect a hut on the upper deck, and set the ladder up leading down to the boat deck. We can move it later need be.

>>28088844
Can we make a rope ladder? They'd probably weather a storm better if we bring them inside.

>>28088987
Good idea. Do we have any rope?

>>28089013
We have stringy bits, possibly cable. I think they went into the ladder.

>>28089013
We have some scraps that might be useable as a rope, but not enough to actually make a functionable rope.

>>28089028
This^^

Still there, OP?

Luckly Alec has brought plenty of ropes, together they create rope ladders. Alec continues to unload the cargo.

Maxine ascend to the top floor, there is nothing useful here but there is a lot of free space after some cleaning.

Nora has resurfaced and brought some news, the underwater floor is also nailed shut and she couldn't enter the floor even lower is also.

>>28089299
What else has Alec brought besides rope?

We should aim at eventually cutting out a window on either narrow end of the lower floor and turning it into a boat-thru restaurant.

>>28089525
Hopefully not just bins of cloth.

>>28089560
Boat-thru fish restaurant?
Seems legit. Find a source of potatoes, and trade people fish and chips for their shinies.

>>28089525

He brought parts to build shelter , mostly metal and plastic thin panels from discarded shutters and machinery, thin metal pipes strings and such. There is still rope and sticky tape.

Of and lunch of course!

>>28089299
Time to build! I think we should build a depot shack for the materials we find, since we have sleeping bags and a roof to sleep under. This would also allows us to stock up on goods brought by traders. We should build it in the lower deck so its closer from ships to move in and out.

>>28089610
Exactly.

And we can build up the upper floors into a small hotel/inn once we've got enough shinies to furnish rooms and build out some expanded roofing/flooring.

Tom has removed the shutters from the second window, Maxine went down to look around.

Should Nora come out or dive again, if yes where to dive?

>>28089836
Dive again under the shade bit leaning over the water?

Very cool stuff! I don't have time to read through this now but keep up the good work, I love seeing mroe stuff from CATastrophe

>>28089836
Dive as deep as possible. As deep. AS. FUCKING. POSSIBLE.

>>28089299
>Seeing a village actually developing in drawings
HHHHNNNNGG, OP, your drawing speed and skills are awesome.
You might want to add the word "quest" to the topic title for later installmenst

>>28089644
>>28089655

Good ideas all. I also would like to get a path open to the floors that are underwater. Maybe we can use the axe to break up the floorboards?

>>28089867

We shouldn't let Nora dive too deep without a teammate. Send Tom or Alex down with her too.

>>28089921
Good idea, but we should be careful about it. If the underwater room next to the boat is still waterproof and we can get it open without letting any water in, we can eventually rig up a basic hoist and use it as a water-chilled storage room for food supplies.

>>28090007
Only water is more of a heat sink than a chiller, so it'll heat up during the day, and chill right down at night.

Please decide what will they do next, too many unsure and confusing suggestions around. Also I know we are just bearly hitting the 4 hours mark and things are only starting up I am really enjoying myself but sadly I must be leaving soon.

>>28089916
I purposely did not add "Quest" to it. I haven't been around /tg/ for a long time but lately the little I lurked it seems that Quest threads and civ (this is kinda like that) threads got kind of separated.

>>28090036
Then only chill at night and hope the melty stuff doesn't get melty?

>>28090043
Okay.

> Dive again, check around the perimeter, a storey or two down. See if there's any more cabling we can pull off, and bang on walls to check what's behind.
> Make some steps or a short solid ladder, and put it down over the edge of where the boat's docked. Ease of access for divers.
> Get a bedroom or two set up before night falls.

>>28090043
Build a deposit shack on the lower deck so we can stock the materials we find. and then we can thing of building some sort of fishtrap that can spend the day in the water and be checked every now and then for fish. After a good moment we can spread many fish traps around and use the boat to check'em. if the supply is steady enough we can have a restaurant or at least feed ourselves.

>>28090043
Also, now that there is access to the top floor, someone could try to get the panel hanging on the wall on the cables. The panel could be useful and the cables as well.
And maybe open the air-conditioning box while there?

>>28090450

Yeah, we could see if the fan, casing and other parts of the air conditioner can be salvaged for something.

Maxine climbs up to check the panel that hangs on cables.

Nora dives down again to check the other side of the building.

Alec takes parts up and turns the table into a crating table.

Tom, is building a deposit shack from panels.

Alright everyone thank you very much for playing, I hope it was enjoyable even if so short. I had fun the idea of turning the place into a sail through restaurant is very intriguing. We'll see if we can continue this sometime, now I must hurry to bed.

Stay awesome!

>>28090763
Goodnight, Sleepy_drawfag. Thanks!

Good night, and I really hope you continue the game, we've barely gotten started!

>>28090763
Thanks Sleepy.

>>28090803
Five hours isn't too bad a run for a first-time civ/quest/whatever thread. We'll continue this some other time, hopefully.

keep bumping thread until he returns!

>>28090903
Don't do that. Just let him make another thread when hes ready.
